About Clearwater Marine Aquarium

Clearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working marine rescue center dedicated to inspiring the human spirit through leadership in education, research, rescue, rehabilitation and release. CMA is home to rescued dolphins, sea turtles, river otters, stingrays, nurse sharks and more. Winter the dolphin’s story of survival, after an injury that caused her to lose her tail, has impacted millions of people around the world. A major motion picture, Dolphin Tale, highlighted her life story in 2011. The sequel, Dolphin Tale 2, was released in September 2014 and features the incredible story of Hope, a young resident dolphin of CMA. The mission and potential to change people’s lives differentiates Clearwater Marine Aquarium from any other aquarium in the world.

Inspirational Stories at CMA

Clearwater Marine Aquarium is filled with inspiring tales about rescued animals, but we are also touched by hundreds of inspirational guests that come from all over the world with their own incredible stories of survival and hope. Kids, many with special needs, chronic and terminal illness or just a big heart for marine life, walk through our doors and share their lives with us. They feel a connection and joy meeting Winter and our other animal ambassadors, and, in turn, they become heroes for us all. Learn more about them and the amazing stories that come together at CMA every day.

Claudia Dopico

Claudia was struggling after she had undergone toe separation surgery. Then she heard about Dolphin Tale, saw the movie and she says it changed her life. She was inspired to fight on. Winter has helped her get through the pain and doesn’t let Apert Syndrome stop her. She can now ride her bike, run, hike and go horseback riding. She even wants to become a marine mammal trainer!
